| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The insular-opercular region integrates multiple sensory inputs, and thus we hypothesized that tactile-induced analgesia occurs in this area. In this study, Aδ (nociceptive) inputs were delivered to the right forearm concurrently with Aβ (tactile) stimulation, and then we characterized the spatiotemporal signature of tactile-induced analgesia using magnetoencephalography. Source localization using minimum norm estimates demonstrated that pain-related activity was located in the posterior insula, whereas tactile-related activity was estimated in the parietal operculum. We also found significant inhibition of pain-related activity in the posterior insula due to cortical modulation. Subjective pain, as evaluated by the visual analog scale, also showed significant reduction. Therefore, our results demonstrated that the multisensory integration within the posterior insula plays a key role in tactile-induced analgesia.
